This page and its discussion part is created for preparation, virtual conducting and post - Conference commenting, common research and publication planning of members and interested friends of International Sociological Association's Research Committee on Participation, organizational Democracy and Self-Management ( RC10) concerning issues raised by contributions to independent, integrative, joint and common sessions during =the XIX World Congress of Sociology,15-21 July 2018, Toronto, Canada=

Theme: //Power, Violence and Justice: Reflections, Responses and Responsibilities //



Since the inception of the discipline, sociologists have been concerned with power, violence and justice. Current social, economic and political challenges enhance their relevance. As capitalist globalization expands and deepens, corporate power increases along with global, national and local inequalities. New geo-political power configurations and confrontations are emerging, with violence being used as a tool to oppress and also to resist oppression. Colonial histories and contemporary land appropriations reflect the structures and cultural processes that perpetuate violence against indigenous and minority communities. States’ failures to meet their responsibility to provide basic resources are often deflected by blaming the most vulnerable. Both global economic and geo-political processes create crises and massive displacements of people and, at the same time, fuel racism, nationalism and xenophobia. We have also seen an increasing buildup of a culture of fear as a powerful tool used by states, corporations and other institutions to generate popular support for curtailing freedom in the name of security. Efforts to curtail the flow of desperate refugees, attest to the reinforcement of national and racialized borders. Despite visible progress on equality issues, violence against women and intersectional violence point to the entrenchment of the gender border around the world. Equally significant is the need to consider the role of state and institutional power relations to ongoing everyday violence. In response to disempowerment, violence, and injustice we have also witnessed nonviolent movements, humanitarian interventions, and peace processes that have empowered communities, reduced violence, and promoted justice. These diverse communities have built solidarities outside the neo-liberal frames of state-global capital nexus. This XIX ISA World Congress of Sociology will focus on how scholars, public intellectuals, policy makers, journalists and activists from diverse fields can and do contribute to our understanding of power, violence and justice.

INVITED SESSION ORGANIZERS From April 25 - September 30, 2017 you will have the ability to add abstracts to your session(s) by clicking on the "Add New Abstract" link in the Session Control Panel.

**Schedule of the sessions**

 * All sessions of Research Committees (RC), Working Groups (WG) and Thematic Groups (TG) will last 110 minutes except of an evening time-slot 19:30-20:50 that lasts only 80 minutes and is recommended for Business Meeting.

**Session allocation**
The number of sessions will be allocated based on the number of the ISA members in good standing in the group as of October 2016 according to the scheme provided below. Members in good standing are individual members who have paid both ISA and the RC/WG/TG membership due for the current year. The number of allocated sessions is the total number of all sessions assigned to RC/WG/TG and includes all types of sessions as well as:
 * ~ **Nº of ISA members in each group as of October 2016** ||~ **Nº of sessions** ||
 * ~ 250 members and more || 26 ||
 * ~ 200-249 members || 24 ||
 * ~ 150-199 members || 22 ||
 * ~ 100-149 members || 18 ||
 * ~ 50- 99 members || 14 ||
 * ~ 25- 49 members || 10 ||
 * ~ <25 members || 6 ||
 * 1) A time slot for a Business Meeting;
 * 2) Joint sessions. Joint sessions cannot constitute more than 50% of all sessions in which a RC/WG/TG is involved (as host and/or co-organizer).

**Type of sessions**
RC/WG/TG are encouraged to diversify the form of their sessions. A combination of the following types of sessions is suggested:
 * **Paper presentation session** It is recommended that each session uses its 110 minutes to accommodate 4-5 papers and 15-20 minutes of collective discussion. All other papers should be listed as distributed papers in the relevant session and serve as “waitlist” for Session Organizers. These papers will be listed in the program and, providing the authors register in time, their abstracts will be included in the abstracts book. If a participant does not show up, the first participant listed under distributed papers will be asked to present a paper.
 * **Featured or Keynote Speaker** A session featuring a leading researcher in one of the RC/WG/TG fields, with a presentation of between 35 and 60 minutes duration, followed by a discussion period. This kind of session can attract more people from outside your group. These sessions are organized directly by Program Coordinators and/or Session Organizers and are not open for abstract submission.
 * **Panel Session** Panel session accommodates a larger number of invited panelists who will debate around a specific theme or on current issues of particular importance to the area of research. The floor will then be opened to the audience. Panel sessions are organized directly by Program Coordinators and/or Session Organizers and are not open for abstract submission.
 * **Invited Session** Sessions organized directly by Program Coordinators and/or Session Organizers. These are not open for abstract submission.
 * **Author meets their Critics** A debate around an important recent publication that could be presented by the author(s), with commentators and opening the floor to the audience. These sessions are organized directly by Program Coordinators and/or Session Organizers and are not open for abstract submission.
 * **Roundtable Session** In order to accommodate more papers, a regular session time-slot may be used for a maximum of 5 concurrent running round table presentations in one room (maximum of 5-6 presenters at each table). Five tables will be set up at the same time and in the same room. Each table will accommodate 10 persons including the presenters (suggested number of 5 presenters). Each RC can organize up to 2 Round Table sessions.
 * **Poster session** Poster presentations of research information and results. Each RC can organize up to 2 Poster sessions. Each RC will be given a specific date/time for its Poster Session.
 * **Joint Session** Joint Sessions are sessions organized jointly by two or more RCs, or an RC combined with a WG or TG on a theme of overlapping interest. Please note that Joint Sessions must be included in the regular session allocation of one of the participating units. Joint sessions cannot constitute more than 50% of all sessions in which a RC/WG/TG is involved (as host and/or co-organizer).
 * **Integrative Session** Integrative Sessions connect around a debate on a common theme at least 3 Research Committees, Working Groups, Thematic Groups, National Associations (ISA collective members), or a combination of any 3 units. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 15, 2013. For more details, see []
 * **Business Meeting** Each RC/WG/TG is obliged to hold a Business Meeting to discuss current organizational matters as well as to conduct election, if appropriate. As an evening time-slot 19:30-20:50 is shorter and lasts only 80 minutes, it is recommended for Business Meeting.
 * **Other formats** Having a variety of types of sessions can enhance the quality of a meeting, especially if the organizers find the right people to participate in them. The above are simply suggestions. Other formats, such as a hands-on workshop, or a session on pedagogy may also be appropriate for your group.

**Linguistic diversity**
Although English is the administrative language of ISA, the Association does have three official languages, English, French and Spanish. Presentations are primarily in the official three. However RC/WG/TGs are encouraged to support language diversity. If paper presentations are in languages other than English, then it is up to the RC/TG/WG to work this out creatively, given that ISA does not have funds to support simultaneous interpretation. Suggested possibilities: Most likely, there are other strategies as well. Implementing the strategies requires advanced planning, including the recruiting of qualified volunteers. It is equally important that the possibility of using such strategies also be widely known in advance, for the information of both potential paper presenters and also members of the audience and for the necessary technological devices to be available on the spot. Conference rooms are provided with screen and computer for PowerPoint presentations.
 * to have a translation of the abstract available as overheads, Power Point or distributed hard copy;
 * for the presenter to use a mixture of English and their preferred language;
 * to provide an oral sequential informal interpretation/summary by another RC member;
 * to have a whispered interpretation/ summary provided by another RC member;
 * to have a volunteer typing on a computer a summary of the remarks as they are made;

**Role of Program Coordinator and Session Organizer**
The Program Coordinator of each RC, WG and TG is responsible for organizing a program of high-quality sessions. In cooperation with the Board of the group the Program Coordinator must define session themes and, perhaps, an overall theme for the group’s program, and choose competent Session Organizers who will ensure that the program achieves the academic quality expected at a World Congress. The Program Coordinator will be contacted by the ISA Secretariat about any matters concerning the group’s program and, if needed, the Program Coordinator will then inform Session Organizers. After the issuing of the Call for Papers, the Program Coordinator will help Session Organizers to decide on acceptance of abstracts submitted on-line by conference participants. If needed, the Program Coordinator can transfer abstracts between various sessions of the group. The Program Coordinator is expected to keep close track of the progress made by each Session Organizer and decide on the final structure of the program. The Program Coordinator is also responsible for sessions’ schedule. Session Organizer is responsible for all correspondence concerning the session. It is the Session Organizer’s responsibility to submit accurate details about the session. All changes/updates should be done via on-line system.
 * //It is very important that Program Coordinators and Session Organizers respect conference deadlines. No extension of deadlines is possible.//**
